(Verse 1)
If I could drive the hottest wheels and wear the coolest clothes
If I could own the perfect mansion ‘n have my ducks lined in a row
I thought that would be IT
(But that’s not IT! -- Not IT!)
That wasn’t IT
(Verse 2)
If I could make the right connections to land the perfect job
I’d have the world on a string, be livin’ high up on a hog!
I thought that would be IT
(But that’s not IT! -- Not IT!)
That’s so not IT!
(Setup)
All the pleasures I’d been usin’ to boost my score
Just placebos not worth livin’ nor worth dyin’ for
(Chorus)
EVERYTHING I’VE HOARDED
EVERYTHING I’VE LORDED OVER YOU
JUST WASN’T TRUE
MY WHOLE LIFETIME OF AMASSING
WAS NOT SO EVERLASTING AS THE PROOF
I GOT FROM YOU
JESUS NOW YOU’VE FOUND ME
THERE’S NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT
I DON’T WANNA LIVE WITHOUT YOU
JESUS YOU’RE IT!
(YES, YOU ARE!)
(Verse 3)
I used to let the situations rob me of my joy
I used to want to be the one who left behind the biggest toys
I thought that would be IT
You wanna know something?
(That wasn’t IT!!)
No! That wasn’t IT!
(Setup)
Lookin’ back I can’t believe I’d been such a fool
IT was for my sake that You made the cross our rendezvous
(Chorus repeat)
(Bridge)
GOTTA DOT THE ‘I’ GOTTA CROSS THE ‘T’
WHOS’ THE ONE WHO DIED ON THE CROSS FO' ME!
(Chorus repeat)
